Tax credits in the form of monthly payments are being considered to help feed, clothe, and house children in low-income families. The proferred benefit in the current aid package from the president’s administration would expire at the end of 2021.
Chair of the House Appropriations Committee Representative Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut introduced legislation with Representatives Suzan DelBene of Washington and Ritchie Torres of New York this week that would permanently expand the child tax credit and make it fully refundable.
